Valerie Bertinelli lands TBS sitcom

I dunno what the deal is with the '80s sitcoms today. First "The Golden Girls" and now "One Day At A Time" (right). What's next, the f*ing "Ropers"?

Valerie Bertinelli, the former "ODAAT" cutie and former Mrs. Eddie Van Halen, has signed to star in a TBS sitcom pilot for producer Dave Caplan, who's behind the cabler's very successful "Bill Engvall Show."

Bertinelli will play a single mom of two who's also trying to run a business - pretty much the same setup as "ODAAT" except this time Bertinelli will be the mom instead of the adorable teen. The business is (gulp) a lumberyard, and Bertinelli's character is single because her husband walked out. In the old days, getting a pilot was just the first step, but the way business is conducted now, this has at least a 50/50 shot to make it to air. No word yet on scheduling or other casting.

Bertinelli's other credits include "Touched By An Angel," "Sydney," an autobiography, and several TV movies that make me want to claw my eyes out.
